Riku vs Titania

[Luna Makai]

Usual rules; no attacking first post, all carried items are legitimate, yadda yadda yadda. It's the arena, so it's all OOC and any consumption of items or injuries or deaths don't actually happen to the actual character. Anyway...

Battlefield: Chuunin Exams Arena -- 100-meter diameter arena with high (25ish meters) walls all around it; mostly hard stone open ground with some trees around the edges.

----------

Titania stood in the center of the arena, gazing about at the place. She hadn't come here that often -- after all, her father's restaurant could be just as good a place for getting into fights, if not better -- but today, she had a feeling it would be a good place to be. She'd get a chance to practice what she'd learned all these years, refined talent or otherwise.

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

Riku was in the mood for a friendly fight. He wondered into the chuunin exam battle field. There he saw a rather large woman, no older than 20 standing in the middle of the arena gazing about. Riku thought she looked like a strong shinobi, or maybe it was because of her size. He slowly approached her with confidence. He asked the lady,"Excuseme, my name is Riku. I hope you don't mind but I'm in the mood for a friendly battle. Would you help e quench my craving?" He waited eagerly for a response.

[Luna Makai]

Taking note of the newcomer -- Riku, evidently -- she grinned. "Well, you've picked the right place and the right time, Riku. I was just thinking the same thing." Clenching her right fist in a dramatic gesture, her attention turned toward the inevitable fight. "Ready when you are."

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

The older woman grinned then answered,"Well, you've picked the right place and the right time, Riku. I was just thinking the same thing." Clenching her right fist in a dramatic gesture, her attention turned toward the inevitable fight. "Ready when you are." With this Riku was pleased. Having respect for his elders he said,"You may go first. By the way what is your name?" Before she could answer he started to back up, creating space between them.

[Luna Makai]

"The name's Titania. Titania Akimichi." After a couple seconds of Riku backing up, Titania charged him, dispensing with the subtleties for now and going for a straight-on attack. Presuming he did nothing to stop her from approaching and carrying out her intentions, he would be facing a strong right-arm punch to the stomach.

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

Immediately after Titania noticed that Riku was backing up she charged right for him! She threw her fist right for Riku's gut. Riku always had a plan if something like this happened. He jumped high in the air about 9 feet. He did the needed handseals for the Hot Ash Breath technique. He then in hailed greatly then exhaled the dangerous fumes towards Titania. Titania would have no site of Riku so he threw 3 Grenade Fragmentations at her into the thick ashes. Riku awaited to see what she was capable of.

Fire Style: Hot Ash Breath.
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to expel hot ash from their mouth onto their targets to cause great burns to their body.
Special: Dog, Dragon, Boar, Tiger
Drawback: The User could easily be caught within the technique, burning himself within the hot ash. This technique does not discriminate between friend and foe. Only lasts for one post before diminishing into the air.
Description: User forms the needed hand seals and focuses chakra to their throat and mouth. Inhaling, the user releases a large wave of steaming hot black ash from their mouth, out towards the opponent. The ash quickly covers an area of 10 meters wide and 20 meters in front of them, leaving the hot ash in a 30 meter Cone expelling from the user, 8 feet high into the air, in about 1 second. This ash hinders all sight while active, except DouJutsu. However only remains within the air for one turn (6 Seconds). This ash upon contact, will instantly burn whoever is caught within, leaving second degree burns (B Rank Damage) along the effected body parts.


Grenade: Fragmentation
Rank: "C"
Type: Secondary, 1 per Slot, Explosive, Grenade
Effect: A grenade with a heavy metal casing that shatters, on exploding, into fragments that travel at high speed and with great force.
Special: ---
Drawback: May harm the user if not thrown right.
Description: The fragmentation grenade (commonly known as a frag) is an anti-personnel weapon that is designed to disperse shrapnel upon exploding. The body is made of hard plastic or steel. Flechettes, notched wire, ball bearings or the case itself provide the fragments. When the word grenade is used without specification, and context does not suggest otherwise, it is generally assumed to refer to a fragmentation grenade. These grenades were sometimes classed as defensive grenades because the effective casualty radius of some matched or exceeded the distance they could be thrown, thus necessitating them being thrown from behind cover. Fragmentation grenades have a killing radius of 5 meters with a wounding radius of 15 meters. It takes 6 seconds before it explodes.
Limit: These types of items may be capable of being bought inside any Weapon Shop.
Cost: 1,500 Ryo Each

[Luna Makai]

After ten years of experience being a shinobi, though, Titania wasn't so easy to fool. When the burning ash struck, she appeared to be still there, bracing herself against the heat... but the reality was far, far different. In reality, she had arced around behind him in an instant, quietly whirling about on one foot and slamming the back of his head with a brutal, disorienting punch the instant he landed from his jump.

Incidentally. Even though my actions sound definitive, as in 'yes, she punched him', they're still 'what ifs'. You can still stop her from doing so via interrupt, I'm just posting from my story perspective.

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

When Riku landed he expected her to be suffering in the deadly fues ,but to his surprise he saw Titania about to forcefully strike the back of his head when he looked back. Riku bobed his head down then used an air ball to get a distance from Titania. He knew that when he was fighting her he needed to be more serious than that. He threw a kunai at her as he was getting farther away fro her. He wasn't sure he could defeat such a strong opponent but didn't give up yet.

[Luna Makai]

Titania let out a sigh as Riku fled on the sphere of air. She had been going easy on him; he looked young despite his height. Shaking her head, she sidestepped the incoming kunai without really needing to think about it. Following behind the sphere at a distance, she tried to box him in to the point that no matter what path he took, he'd have to go directly through her.

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

Riku knew that Titania would probably she would probably start to follow him. Where ever he turned she was there. It was hard to shake her off but there was a good distance between them,after all he was on an air ball and she was on her feet. He was ready for what she would throw at him.

[Luna Makai]

This game of chase had gone on long enough. Surging forward at an immeasureable speed, she reappeared directly in front of Riku (hardly more than a few feet), shifting her momentum immediately into a forceful tackle-slam meant to knock him off the ball and possibly end up with her landing on top of him. If she could pull that off, he'd be in all sorts of trouble.

If it hits, she will tackle him down to the ground and grapple him to keep him still.

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

When Titania was coming straight for him Riku went deep into his pocket to pick up 5 kunai. He hoped off hoping that the speed of eatama would help him while trying to do a low kick to get her off balnace and fall. Her weight would make her fall harder plus the speed she is charging at him with. Riku knew his opponent was a pretty strong one and knew that he shouldn't let his guard down.

[Luna Makai]

Tripping her? Wrong decision with that momentum and direction. Yes, she would fall harder, but he seemed to have failed to take into account that she would fall harder on him, because he was in the way. And so the case was; they both landed hard on the ground, and Titania was quick to grapple him, to keep his arms apart (or beneath him, preferably) so he couldn't get out of it so easily. If he tried to resist too much... well, she'd just smack him heartily over the head.

SPOILER: Click to show

Before you say "but you're autohitting, I didn't get a defense!", your defense against this was LAST round, and there's nothing there that would actually get him out of the way, even if she is falling (which isn't much different from rushing) -- rolling air spheres can't turn on a dime, I would think.

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

Riku was pinned down by a woman who was much larger than him after slide tackling her and making her fall on him. He was starting to really regret the rash decision. Especially, when she struck him in a way that made it hard for him to move. She was holding his arms down to the floor and he couldn't perform handseals. He was down to his only option, a move that didn't require hand seals. He tilted his head toward the hand that was holding his arms out wide. Riku in haled greatly then exhaled a fuuton arrow to Titania's hand. he thought that she would be forced to get off of him. Also since it was from such a close range it would be hard to dodge or block.

[Logi Shimizu]

Gonna intervene here, that jutsu still requires handseals.

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

OOC: I checked with other mods and they say if it dosen't say in "special" handseals then it doesn't need them, so I'm good to go. Arty it's your turn then.

[Luna Makai]

The wind arrow pierced her left hand, causing her to recoil it off of his from the sudden sting... but he evidently failed to account for the rest of her limbs maintaining the majority of the pin. Ignoring her hand's bleeding, she let go with her right hand, bringing it up into a sledgehammer fist down onto his solar plexus. If he turned it aside... well, she'd just use her own arms to spread his wide again, and give it another shot. If he tried to take a deep breath again, she'd clock him upside the head with that punch instead.

All punching-his-face or punching-his-solar-plexus attempts supplemented with this.

Limit: Must know Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist)

[Riku Tadami (Sage)]

With an arm free Riku formed a lightning bolt in his hand to hit Titania's fist which was coming straight for him. Her other hand was peirced by his wind arrow at the expense of his arm. It was still worth it because he would still injure her other hand. Since only her feet and legs were holing him now he would soon have a chance in escaping. He would also halt her from using handseals and punching. While all of this was happening he was slowly trying to wiggle his legs out of her legs' hold.
